Short Explination
Writen for seventh grade English. The teacher liked it so much that she kept it. ^_^ My mum actually helped me out a lot with this one. Based on a true story. ^.^;;
Christmas Caution
I am just a cautious child
quiet and reserved.
Noisy places drive me wild,
and make me feel unnerved.
When I was just a little one,
about the age of three.
My momma said it would be fun
to visit Santa Claus with me.
We pulled into the parking lot,
and walking through the door,
My eyes focused on a spot,
right near my favorite store.
My momma said, "Look at the tree,
all glittery and bright."
She took my hand and pulling me,
it vanished from my sight.
The house ahead with a large sign,
read "Santa Claus is Here."
She pulled me to a noisy line,
and then as we grew near...
I heard a loud "Ho, Ho, Ho,"
and "Merry Christmas Day!"
I looked at mom and begged to go,
all she said was, "It's okay."
I saw a man in a funny hat,
who had a beard of white.
He wore all red and was too fat,
and gave me quite a fright.
Then...placed upon this Santa's knee,
I felt an awful dread.
I wondered who was holding me?
When momma bent nearby my head...
And as she whispered in my ear,
"Now lets tell Santa Hi!"
I squirmed and tried to run in fear,
and poked him...in the eye.
